About Me

Three years on the Vancouver indie music scene and Tripping West just keeps getting better. Their dedicated local following will tell you they are one of the most fun live bands you'll get to see in this city. Their first single "Not Today" charting number one on Cashbox Magazine's all indie chart proves the U.S. market is taking notice too. And the glowing reviews from around the globe for their debut CD Scenes From Our Lives make it unanimous... these guys (and girl) rock! Currently recording their second album, Tripping West blends infectious melodies, sweet riffs, and killer drums to produce a unique sound with a traditional rock feel. If you like good music, and you like good times, you're going to like Tripping West!Profile edited with CricketSoda's Myspace Editor
